US-only Ferrari limited edition could be an F12 NART Spyder

Will be revealed on October 12


A new report indicates the upcoming US-only Ferrari limited edition will be a spyder version of the F12 Berlinetta.




We already know Ferrari is working on a special edition model exclusively for the U.S. market and more details are starting to emerge. It is believed the model in question will be based on the F12 Berlinetta but converted into a Spyder. The rumor makes sense taking into consideration in the 60s there was a 275 GTB-4 NART produced in a limited series of ten units and all were sold only through Ferrari distributor Luigi Chinetti.




Coincidentally or not, the rumored Ferrari F12 NART Spyder (or something like that) will also be available in only ten examples and all cars have already been sold for $3.2 million a pop. The vehicles will feature a blue exterior with white stripes as a reference to the colors used by the North American Racing Team (NART).




It is believed that aside from turning the F12 into a Spyder, Ferrari will also upgrade the V12 6262cc engine which in the regular model puts out 740 HP (544 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque.




We will know for sure on October 12 when the mysterious model will be officially revealed during a gala dinner. The very next day, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo will step down as Ferrari chairman and will be replaced by Sergio Marchionne.
